Of course it does. Disgraceful.
I do hope you have a steady income and a solid environment for this baby you would happily bring into this world.

I don't know about the ins and outs of microgynon and so on but I can say safely that with most pills and medication taking two to make up for a missed day as a general rule of thumb is a no no. Consult your GP first, not saying that your actions might have resulted in anything bad and that the same applies with hormone pills but it's ignorance like that which results in overdoses.
Just go to the Pharmacy and ask them. Then at least if they think there's a problem, they can advice you waht to do about it.
I forgot to take my pill one day, and got soo stressed about it because the instructions were very ambiguous - went to the pharmacy and they were saying that the instructions on that pill are rubbish and need to be updated, and told me exactly what I needed to do (as well as printing off some more up to date instructions)
So yeah, pharmacists are very helpful, go say hi to one

Why did you feel the need to have 3 at once, especially if you're not even having sex? My girlfriend is on the microgynon pill and if she forgot to take one she'd take it as soon as she remembered, but never one after the other as it's just pointless?
I'm a guy and know more about it than you so I suggest you go to your doctor and ask them to explain how the pill actually works to you as I don't think you have a clue...

It takes two people to get pregnant. "it effects me not him [sic]" probably won't be your song of choice when you expect him to pay child support because you were taking the pill half-assed.

Yeah I know, you just take it as soon as you remember. Still though, you should have made sure you understood stuff like that when the doc gave you a prescription. Especially if you're forgetful enough to have missed 2 days in a row.

I don't know much about your specific pill, but in general I think you are MEANT to take the pill as soon as you remember you've forgotten it. Don't know if that applies if you forget 2 though.
Side effects, you may have some bleeding because you had been off the pill for a time. I doubt there will be any problems. You should find the instructions on line though and have a look.
And you've already said the sex thing isn't a problem, but just for the record I think it's one week which you aren't protected for. You should also keep an eye out if you've had sex before you missed them (might be a week before as well, might be less, can't remember).
At the end of it all if you're worried go to the pharmacist or your GP to ask.

you cant have a baby unless you have sex 
so like i was saying, it doesnt effect him
apparently periods on the mini pill can be all over the place anyway
thanks

Oh sorry! My apologies
Might have been worth while declaring that at the start though or not mentioning the OH.

I don't think that's right.
From what I remember, the leaflet said 'take it as soon as you remember up to X hours later, if you miss a pill completely, do not take a double dose, but continue to take the pill as normal but use another form of contraception for the next 7 days'.
But that was like 3 years ago, so maybe they changed it. Seems stupid to take two though.

You're meant to take you're next dose and not double dose. You only take a second one if it's within a couple of hours of the missed one.
I'm on the same pill, I believe it says if you miss one, take it as soon as possible and then take the next one at the normal time. Dunno about two days though. You might get a little bleeding but I'm not sure, it didn't say in the leaflet. Since it says you should be protected from pregnancy 7 days after missing one, I'd assume that's when your periods will go back to whatever they're normally like on the pill.
